The book precedes 100 Years of Solitude, which picks up many of the themes in this book. Set in a remote river town, the inhabitants are pestered by lampoons of rumors that have been pasted to their doors. The new dictator—excuse me, the new mayor (incidentally also self-appointed sheriff)—sets out to solve the crime after the prank leads to a murder. In the background is a potential uprising against the government. He purportedly solves the crime with a government cover up of the murder of a suspect in custody. Quick and easy to read, the story portrays corruption in government and commerce at its best.
